2. Character
 The characters in a story are the people,
animals, or imaginary creatures that take
part in the action
 In most stories, the events center around
one or main (major) characters
 Minor characters are other characters
who interact with the main character and
help move the story along

3. Dynamic and Static Characters
Dynamic characters change as a
result of events. An example of a
dynamic character is Elsa from
Frozen. Her heart changes over the
course of the movie.
Static characters remain unchanged.
An example of this is Hans. He never
changed throughout the movie.

4. Flat and Round Characters
 A flat character is a character that the reader
only knows a little bit about his life or
personality. This character is very one
dimensional. Sheldon Cooper is an example of
a flat character.
 A round character is a character that has been
fully developed by the author. The reader
knows much about the character’s personality,
thoughts and feelings. Katniss Everdeen is an
example of a round character.
